Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Inn
"There's a problem with those two?" Lin Mo looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"There's no problem with them."
"Then why are you following them?"
Su Shi said: "Because I want to know who will ask them about the conversation between us, and the person who asked them has a problem." ”
Lin Mo still didn't understand, but Su Shi didn't want to explain to him at this time, so Lin Mo had to follow.
After Lin Mo left, Su Shi was not in a hurry to check the things in his arms, and still stood quietly in front of the gate of the drunken country, thinking about his plan again.
He is the last person the person who committed suicide comes into contact, and the other party will definitely pay attention to his every move.
And the reason why Su Shi wanted to stand in front of the drunken country and talk to the officials was also to attract the attention of the other party, and those people would definitely be very interested in the content of their conversation.
It should be easy for the other party to find out their identity, and as the second son of the General's Mansion, these people naturally dare not act rashly, so they will naturally go to find those two officials.
Therefore, Lin Mo will definitely gain from following them.
But Su Shi was not willing to wait for the result here, because he learned from the two officials that there were still many strange things about this matter.
No one will appear out of thin air, let alone a drunken person.
A drunk person's behavior must be different from that of a normal person, and it is easier to attract the attention of others, but this drunk person appears in front of a drunken country, and no one has any impression.
And the other two people who appeared in the drunken country didn't seem to have any impression, which couldn't help but make Su Shi feel strange.
Su Shi stood at the door and looked forward, next to the drunken country was an inn, and then there was a rouge shop, and behind the rouge shop was the Yi'an River.
His gaze naturally fell on the inn.
Judging from what is known so far, the middle-aged man most likely came out of the inn and then broke into a drunken country directly, so he didn't attract more people's attention.
At this time, the proprietress appeared in front of him, and when she saw Su Shi still standing at the door, she looked into the distance attentively, and couldn't help but ask, "Childe, what are you looking at?" ”
Su Shi looked back and saw that it was the proprietress who still looked palpitating, shook his head, and said with relief: "It's nothing, it's just that I have been sitting for a long time and want to stand for a while." ”
The proprietress didn't see Lin Mo, and asked again, "What about the son's entourage?" ”
Su Shi smiled: "He has something to do, so he left first." ”
The proprietress sighed and stopped talking, and Su Shi suddenly asked, "You don't know Lin Mo?" ”
"Lin Mo?" The proprietress looked at Su Shi blankly and asked, "Who is he?" ”
"It's my retinue."
The proprietress smiled: "Childe said that he was joking, I only saw Childe for the first time today, how could I know Childe's entourage." ”
Su Shi asked again: "Are you familiar with the inn next door?" ”
"What? Childe wants to stay in a hotel? The proprietress looked at Su Shi suspiciously, because when she saw Su Shi, she was a nobleman in the capital, how could she stay outside the hotel.
"I'm just asking."
The proprietress replied: "That inn is opened by Hu people, and basically all the people living in it are Hu people." ”
Then the proprietress paused, and continued disgustedly: "Those Hu people don't like to bathe, and they like to eat mutton, and they have been wearing clothes made of sheepskin for a long time, and they smell of sheep all over their bodies, and they smell bad to death, so they won't go there to live there." I just passed by the inn and I felt like it smelled like that. ”
Hearing the proprietress say this, Su Shi had doubts about his judgment again, because when he helped the middle-aged man up, he only smelled the smell of wine, but he didn't smell any sheep.
If the middle-aged man was drunk in the inn, there should be a residual smell of sheep on his body.
However, Su Shi still had to go to see it on the spot to be sure, so he settled the account and left the drunken country.
Leaving the drunken country, Su Shi did not walk directly to the inn, but wandered unhurriedly in the opposite direction.
Each square in the capital is rectangular, although Su Shi walked in the opposite direction of the inn, but after walking one or two streets into the street on the right, after going around twice, he has come to the back door of the inn.
However, when he came to the back door of the inn, he didn't go in, but just looked at the inn with a frown.
Because as the proprietress said, even if you pass by the inn, you can smell the strong smell of sheep, if the middle-aged man is really drunk in the inn, whether he is drunk or forced to get drunk, it is impossible not to get this smell on his body.
Su Shi touched his nose and continued to walk forward to the Nghe An River.
People come and go along the Nghe An River, and from time to time I will hear people talking about the middle-aged man who committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Then Su Shi couldn't help but sigh a little, because it was only a short journey, and he heard at least three versions of the story of a middle-aged man jumping into the river.
However, Su Shi was also very sure that if that person broke into a drunken country along the Nghe An River, he would definitely attract the attention of others.
After all, there are too many idle people in the capital, and any small thing may cause others to watch, let alone a person who behaves strangely.
So at this time, Su Di was standing by the Ngee An Bridge, looking at the back door of the drunken country, and he really couldn't figure out how the drunken middle-aged man could hide so many people from breaking into the drunken country.
Su Shi naturally didn't believe that person appeared out of thin air, but there was no reasonable explanation for everything that happened so far.
But Su Shi didn't feel the slightest frustration, but felt that this matter was becoming more and more mysterious, more and more interesting, and even more and more interesting.
The only clue in his hand now was the piece of silk in his arms, but Su Shi didn't seem to have the intention of taking it out to check it.
Because he knew that there must be many pairs of eyes staring at him in this crowd.
At this time, he suddenly saw a thin and weak figure in the crowd, quickly jumping into a remote alley.
Su Shi's heart moved, and then he walked towards the alley, because he wanted to confirm something.
It's a dead end, and basically no one will go in or out. Therefore, as soon as Su Shi walked into the alley, the hustle and bustle seemed to be isolated from the alley, leaving only desertion and loneliness.
The alley was not long, and Su Shi didn't walk a few steps before he came to the corner, and then he saw the group of children.
Two toddlers were bouncing around the sinkhole, smiling happily and laughing from time to time.
Three older children, two leaning against the corner of the wall, no longer shining in their eyes, and another little girl stood beside the two young children, telling them to be careful.
And the oldest boy stood on the outside, and when Su Shi appeared, he kept looking at Su Shi with a wary gaze.
Although he knew Su Shi and also had a good impression of Su Shi, because Su Shi was the first person who did not dislike getting drunk because of them.
However, when Su Shi appeared here, he still maintained a strong sense of vigilance.
